Easy adoption process for a furry friend
Owning an animal is a privilege and not a right!
SPCAs do not give away animals nor do they sell animals – animals are ADOPTED from SPCAs.
- All cats and dogs that are adopted from an SPCA will be sterilised to prevent them from either having (or siring) any unwanted litters.
- They will be vaccinated to safeguard them from contracting diseases such as distemper or parvovirus.
- They will be dewormed to assist in the elimination of internal parasites.
- They may also be dipped to ensure that there are no external parasites.
- The actual animal is for free!!
Adoption fees:
Female dog: R550
Male dog: R500
Male and female cats: R450
SPCAs on the other hand do their utmost to only home healthy animals – and if the animal does fall ill within the first 7 days of adoption they will treat the animal at their own cost.
This does not unfortunately cover an animal that has been injured through the new owner’s neglect – such as an animal that is run over due to the gate being left open for example.
The officially adopted Statement of Policy of the SPCA movement is to “discourage the keeping of domestic animals by those who do not have the facilities, time, financial means or level of interest necessary to ensure a satisfactory standard of care and husbandry for their pets” – domestic animals deserve to be loved, cared for, taken to the vet when necessary, played with, taken for walks and so on.
This is why we do not home dogs just for security – and rather advise people to contact a security firm and hire a guard if they are concerned about safety.
Our animals are homed as PETS.
